Posted in: HTC, Smart Devices, Television, Today's Chili, Verizon Wireless
HTC and Verizon Wireless have unveiled the Imagio, a Windows Mobile 6.5 (!) smartphone with a 3.6-inch, 800-by-480-pixel touch screen.
Significantly, it’s also Verizon’s first smartphone to support V CAST Mobile TV, Verizon’s broadcast service that requires a dedicated TV tuner in the handset.
In addition, the Imagio is a true world phone with quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900 + 2100 MHz HSPA) and dual-band EV-DO Rev A (800/1900 MHz) device. It includes Wi-Fi, a standard-size 3.5mm headphone jack, an on-screen QWERTY keyboard, and HTC’s TouchFLO 3D interface.
Look for the Imagio online at www.verizonwireless.com beginning October 6th, and in stores on October 20th, for $199 after a $100 mail-in rebate with a two-year agreement. Could the Imagio be relief for anyone frustrated with Verizon’s poor smartphone lineup? Stay tuned.
